Jordan Haverly recently finished her record-setting volleyball career with another performance for the history books.

The fifth-year Indiana University senior posted a double-double in her final contest donning the Cream and Crimson with 11 kills and 11 digs in a 3-1 loss against Michigan on Nov. 29.

Haverly, a former Rockford Keith standout, became the first player in Hoosier history to get 1,500 kills (1,654) and 1,000 digs (1,023) for Indiana.

“She has been a true six-rotation player helping out our play on the court in so many ways — with her passing to start the offense, her savvy attacking of knowing the game and how to score against bigger opponents, to serving for points with her jump serve,” Indiana coach Sherry Dunbar said.

Haverly said her personal success is a credit to her teammates.

“Throughout my career, I just wanted to play well for my teammates and if success came with that for me personally, then that was just an added bonus,” she said. “I had many personal goals that I wanted to achieve in my collegiate career; many were met and some were not. However, being the first to achieve leaves me satisfied in knowing that I gave it my all.

“In the end, it would not have been possible without my teammates. I thank them so much for their help in my success.”

Haverly said she came back as a fifth-year senior — she was granted a medical red-shirt season two years ago after having knee surgery — because she wanted to stay with her teammates.

“I felt we all had a special connection and it was going to be a special year for us,” she said.

The Hoosiers didn’t quite finish how they wanted, going 9-22 overall and 1-9 in the Big Ten, but Haverly wouldn’t trade her memories for anything.

“I feel very fortunate that I was able to play and compete at the highest level in college,” she said. “I have had so much fun playing the game that I love. I have countless memories and so many great friends that will last me a lifetime. I am glad that I was able to give to a program that has meant so much to me and that has also given me so much. I wanted to make an impact at Indiana, and I can say that I did that in many ways.”

Now that her playing days are over, her focus is now on her career. She will finish classes this spring for a master’s degree in recreational therapy and then take an internship in the summer. She hopes to become a recreational therapist or try to get a job in college coaching.

Haverly, who led Keith to its first Class 1A state girls volleyball appearance in 2007, originally went to Nebraska in 2008. She decided the Cornhuskers weren’t a good fit and sat out a year and trained before heading to Indiana in 2009. She played both the 2009 and 2010 seasons, but tore her ACL, MCL, LCL, and meniscus in the spring of 2011 and did a medical redshirt for the 2011 season. She then came back and played the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

Dunbar said she was happy that Haverly decided to return.

“I was obviously very excited that Jordan loved our program and the sport of volleyball enough to play her final year even with the adversity she faced with her knee surgeries,” she said. “I think that helped our program out immensely, but I also think what she has gained from being a part of our program has helped her out a lot as well. It was a two-way street and we both benefitted from each other.”
